WAsHINGrcr, Jan. 31-The Republican
Senators are uneasy at the attitude of the
colored people in regard to the rejection OF
Matthews. The Republicans Of the Senate
who voted &c confirm Matthews maintain that
a mistake was made in rejecting him. In
order to counteract the feeling of resentful-
ness among the colored people of the coun-
try, Senator Ingalls,, chairman OF the COM
mittee which considered the case and recon-
mende6 rejection, prepared letter setting
forth TIE reasons for the course adopted.
This letter was one subject OF debate at the
Caucus of Republican Senators Saturday.
The letter could not with propriety be ad-
dressed to the colored people, SO it was pro-
posed to get it OUT as reply to the commu-
nication OF the President sent to the Senate
with the last nomination of Matthews.
While there was no decision in the caucus
on the question, Mr.. Ingalls, submitted his
letter in secret session Saturday afternoon,
bUt its cons: deratioz was objected to, and it
went over. 1t will probably come up at the
next executive session, and Lay provoke a
political fight, as the Democrats are not dis
posed to permit the Republican majority to
issue any public excuses or explanations in
regard to Matthews.

TORONTO, Ont, Jan. 31.-The Ottawa cor
respondent of the Mail says: Yesterday
the announcement was made that the I'M
perial Government bad consented to send
men-of-war out next season to assist in the
protection of the Canadian fisheries. To the
people of the United States doubtless this
will be anything but palatable information,
but, as matter of fact, it is simply follow
ing the precedent established before the
Washington treaty came into operation. A
prominent official, on being questioned as to
the correctness of the report, said: "It is
true that the Imperial authorities have con-
sented to send out one or two gunboats next
spring to assist the marine police in the en-
forcement of our fishery rights. Some time
ago." he said, "sn understanding was ar
rived at with the home authorities that the
usual assistance would be given. The reason
why aid was not rendered last season was
due to the long correspondence which had
taken place between Canada and England,
and to the fact that by the time the imperial
authorities had settled on lheir policy the
fishing season had nearly EXPIRED

lows:
A major.ey of the subcommittee felt that
wbateve.r course was taken by the House
shoulci be had, in view of the gravity of the
Interests involved, not only with the knowl-
eJge but with the full assent and active con-
currence of the Administration. They there
fore determined to forward copies of the Ed
munds joint resolution as passed by the Sem
ate, the German retaliatory bill as intro
duced into the Senate, and the Belmont re-
taliatory bill as reported to the Foreign
Affairs Committee, to both Secre-
tary Bayard and Secretary Manning. Sec
retary Manning is specifically asked for an
expression OF his views and preference on the
bills submitted as bearing upon the interests
committed by law to his supervision; and
both the Secretary of the Treasury and the
Secretary of State are asked to suggest any
notifications which may seem to them de-
siTable in either of the measures. The earliest
possible reply is solicited. There is an un-
authorized whisper to the effect that one
reason for this course has been the fact that
recent action of the Senate on certain privil-
edged questions has been resented by the ad-
ministratlon as having been taken in viola
ton of long established usage as to consulta-
tion with the State Department, and the
House Com mittee determined to stand right
or the record in this regard.

HON. GEORGE H. PENpLEToN.
His Views to the Possibility of War
Among the Nations of Europe.

New YORK, Jan. 31.-Hon. George II. Pen
dleton, United States Minister to Germany,
who arrived here on the steamer Saale yes
terdsy was seen by a reporter at the house
of his son, Frank 81. Pendleton. to-day. Mr..
Pendleton said he had come on a short visit.
He intends to rest two or three days, and
will then go to Washington TO report to the
Secretary of State. After that he will go to
his home in Cincinnati, where he will re-
main for brief period before his departure
for his post of duty. Mr.. Pendleton was
asked as to his views of the possibility of war
in Europe and the general feeling in regard
to it at the German capital. "The situation"
he remarked, when l left Berlin was
very much strained. The powers of Europe,
from a general feeling of insecurity, have
been making immense preparations. There
are tremendous military works and arma-
ments on every side. 1 heard Won Moltke
say that it was condition of affairs that
must have a solution. 1t may have changed
since then. The Reichstag was dissolved on
the question of the military bill on the Fri
day before 1 left Berlin. Nothing new &C.
CURED before / sailed"
Mr.. Pendleton said that he could not see
that any one in Germany desired war. In
fact, every effort was being made to avoid it.
The old Emperor was extremely anxious to
have peace during his time. Bismarck was
not ready for war now. He would not be
ready until the military bill had been passed
and the army reorganized.

Getting In Their Work.

Special 70 the SenEne-.
WAsHINGToN, Jan. 31.-Two Republican
Examiners of the Civil Service Commission,
Camp and Harlan, have been getting in
their work on Democratic applicants. Quite
recently they refused to recognize Saddlera
history as a standard work, notwithstanding
it is textbook in all the Catholic semi
naIies and colleges. An appeal was taken
on the case, and Webster, the Chief Ex-
aminer, sustained the appeal, but marked
the papers fo- matters which were not in
contest, showing that either the Examiners
were knaves or fools. The applicant came
within IS 16O OF per cent. of passing, not
wIthstaDding the Examiner would not recOg
nize Saddler's history; and the marking
down by the Chief Examiner was simply to
prevent a Democrat from passing. These
Republican Examiners know that every
time they pass an applicant 90 per cent. of
whom azs now Democrats, they knock one of
their OWE party IN the head, and that would
not be epublicanlsm, you know, to help
the enemy. Sworn officers are supposed to
do their duty, but if they are overcome by
tsmptstiOn or strain point to keep their
Republicel colleagues in Office they are not
TO be blamed as much as those who give
them thesOpportunity to do it.

Large Number of Men Discharged.

PERU, Jan. 31.-lt is reliably reported on
the streets here to-day that the visit of Man.
ager Talmage, of the Wabash Railroad Com
pany, here on last Friday will result in the
discharge of eighty or ninety men now at
work in the Indianapolis, Peru and Chicago
Railway shops located here. Their discharge
will take place at once. The report has
aroused great anxiety for the unfortunate
men, who are among our best and most sub
stantial citizens who have done much toward
making Peru a lively, enterprising little city.
There is mysterious uncertainty lowering
over the heads of many of the employees and
clerks of the Wabash Company, and there is
no telling what orders day may bring, re-
lieving them of their positions.

WIZ Pay Damages.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-The Evening Star
has the following: Although the Secretary of
State has not yet announced that the British
schooners captured by the revenue steamer
Corwin in Alaskan waters were unlawfulIy
seized and held it is learned on very good
authority that this will be the outcome of
the whole matter and that proper damages
will be made by this Government for the
losses of detention. 1t is understood that
this is in accordance with an opinion of the
Attorney General after carefully considering
all the court proceedings, which showed that
the vessels were catching seals outside the
three mile line, and were, therefore, well
within their rights according to the construc-
ton this Government has always insisted
upon.s

PITTsBURe, Jan. 31.-The river coal miners

at mines where there were barges or boats
under the hoppers partially filled. these
will be mined on the river until some agree
ment has been made with the operators rela-
tive to the demand for an increase of wages
to 20 cents bushel. The operators are al
most luminous in declaring the advance will
not be granted as the trade will not warrant
it. AS yet no arrangements have been made
for conference, but it is thought meeting
will be held in a day or two to ascertain
what can be done. 1t is estimated that there
will be {, 900 miners idle on the rivers by to-
morrow morning, and that all the mines will
be closed before the middle OF the week

A Henry County Sensation.

KNIGHTsToWN, Jan. 31.-The interest here
in the novel suit referred to by Richmond
correspondents, wherein one Jacob Reddick,
a retired, wealthy farmer of this city had
brought suit to have annulled a deed which
he had made to his children for valuable
farm in Rush county, has been considerably
augmented since it became known that Miss
Annie Hotel had, on Friday, through her
attorneys, MessIs. Butler and Keys, of this
city, commenced proceedings at New Castle
against Mr.. Reddick for breach of marriage
contract demanding S., 600. The important
persons in the suit all reside here; and the
following is a brief summary of the case
About four years ago Jacob Reddick's wife
died, after rearing for him family Of ten
children. Shortly after her death he COM
menced paying court to the gentle sex,

was engaged to more than legitimate num-

Of the number of ladies to whom the 'old

rents and profits of the same

and now comes the complaint demanding

to anpul the deed, it is claimed that the boys
misled their father, in claiming that he was
about to be sued on the Hotel marriage con-
tract, and were it not that he was afraid of
being sued he would not have made the
deed. However, in his complaint to waiver
the deed. he virtually admits an engagement
to Miss Hotel, thereby strengthening her
case. The case is likely now to develop into
a most interesting If not sensational one.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-The means by
which the river and harbor bill passed the
House were reprehensible in the extreme.
BY parliamentous trick even the reading of
the bill was cut off, and it passed in lump.
All of the 165 members who voted for it
doubtless each got slice of the pork. No
oppos tion was determined to worry il to
death, but the friends of the bill on COM
mittee moved to strike out after the enact
ing clause, and appropriate s., 5000, 600 in
lump. This carried, and, consequently, cut
off all debate. Then, when the bill was re-
ported TO the House they reversed their
action, voted down the s. 500, ,O00 clause, and
moved the previous question. 1t was a slick
piece Of parliamentary tactics; but under
such management the most currupt schemes
could be put through without debate.
